Ecker and schiergi of the Bureau of the Budget yesterday afternoon, 11 September, at

8. I conducted a meeting attended by Jim Garrison and several of his people,
as well as Colonel
rogan, to to about the upcoming move to the new building. I think that the meeting
was well worthwhile, although I was satisfied that Logistics had the situation fairly well
in hand.
9. Emmett Echols left with me his proposed revision to the Employee Conduct
manual. He also queried as to whether they should have their Consultants Conference
this Fall. I told him that he should and we agreed that we should get the Director and
other senior people to talk with them to strengthen their confidence in the Agency.
10. Emmett said that we had been able to enter on duty only one colored JOT
and I agreed that we should report this to General Cabell; however, I want to delay until
I have the report which is preparing on the JOT program. After this I
want to have a real session with Emmett on recruitment generally and then we can re-
port to General Cabell.
